Why would AI destroy humanity

A user on reddit.com's dev_community questioned the assumption that AI would develop negative human traits and become a malevolent threat. They argued that AI is a logic-based system, where "1+1 will always be 2," and that many negative human traits lack logic, except possibly self-preservation. The user, who is not a "techie," sought help from the community to understand this perspective, finding the subject fascinating and thought-provoking.

Unlike most discussions on AI threats, this post originates from a non-technical user seeking basic understanding rather than offering expert opinions.
